And I think thats about it
Radio Coaxial Mount Antenna Spring
The mounting location is actually really nice, and it was very easy to set up. If you want a more detailed explanation, I'd be happy to give one.
There is /r/cbradio, but I pretty much just googled everything. I bought these items and I'm pretty happy with them:
Uniden 520XL - Nice, small, cheap radio
Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter
K40 Magnet Mount Antennae with wiring - it is 15 feet of wire so that should be enough to go from the trunk lid to your dash.
SWR tester - this is to test your SWR and make sure the antennae is tuned properly, it also comes with a jumper wire to connect to your radio
If you need help with anything let me know. The CB has been very helpful on I-75, but on Daniels in Fort Myers and Golden Gate Parkway in Naples I have not had any success getting traffic updates etc. which I expected, but it's definitely super helpful on the interstate.
What about operation of websites? Can I host a website that advocates a specific candidate? What if there are no web servers that cost less than 50 dollars? Does that mean I have to use a third party to host my site instead of hosting it myself?
What about the operation of a CB radio? Those don't cost anything except electricity and the radio itself. If I buy this radio could I only spend $10 dollars in electricity for it? If I buy this radio does that mean I can't use it that year for candidate advocacy?
What about buying a printer to print my fliers? Do I have to limit my spending to printers under $50?
The first one is a nice unit--probably overkill if you want something cheap. As for the second one, I'd spend a few more bucks and look at this one instead: https://www.amazon.ca/Uniden-PRO520XL-40-Channel-CB-Radio/dp/B00004VXNI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1551057210&sr=8-9&keywords=cb+radio especially if you are going mobile with it. That ANL filter makes a huge difference on the road.
I don't know about nowadays, but uniden used to make really good radios. I have one that's over 30 years old and still works great!
Uniden PRO520XL is pretty damn affordable, compact, and gets the job done well. I mounted mine below the radio.
